COLUMBIA - Whenever Bruce Ellington showed up to the gym, South Carolina freshman Duane Notice saw what it took to be a successful college basketball player.
The Gamecocks guard observed his senior teammate, taking mental notes. He watched the way Ellington carried himself during drills, the seriousness and focus and attention to detail.
"He brought that leadership that our team is kind of lacking in certain areas. The aspects of playing the point guard position that I'm not naturally used to playing," Notice said on the eve of South Carolina's first SEC game - 7 p.m. Wednesday at Florida.
"Whenever we had practice and I made a mistake or he thought I could've done something better, he always pulled me to the side and let me know his opinion on what he would've done in that situation. Just watching him play, he always goes hard. The fact that he takes it so seriously whether it's not his first sport, it just kind of inspired me and enabled me to play better."
Ellington wasn't always around the basketball program, tied to his duties as a receiver on the Gamecocks' football team. He played only three games this season, averaging 5.7 points and 1.7 assists.
South Carolina will still miss its senior as it begins SEC play against the No. 10 Gators. Ellington was practically a coach on the floor for a young team that has seven freshmen and five sophomores.
Ellington tweeted his goodbye to Columbia on Tuesday morning. Gamecocks basketball coach Frank Martin said he hasn't spoken with his former player since he made the decision to leave school early to enter the NFL draft. Martin said he believes Ellington has left campus.
"He's one of those kids that selfishly as a coach, you want to coach him every day," Martin said. "His spirit, his enthusiasm, his toughness, all those nice adjectives, charisma - he embodies all that. When you get around people like that, you don't ever want to stop coaching them. You want to coach them more."
Yet, Martin didn't try to talk Ellington out of leaving the team. His message was clear, simply telling the two-sport athlete to follow his heart. When Ellington said his heart was tugging toward the NFL, the conversation quickly switched to getting ready for the next phase in life. Martin offered whatever advice he could.
Without Ellington, South Carolina will have an unexpected void to fill during SEC play. Martin has said the senior was great for his locker room, a leader and role model.
"He's one of those guys that, he's always pulling guys to the right side of the fence," Martin said. "Not having that is going to hurt our team until other guys figure it out. Hopefully his residue will continue to impact some of our guys to fight for what he showed us in those 10 practices or whatever he was at.
"We should all feel lucky here at this school that we were able to watch and be a part of such a special young man. I don't think it's any surprise that the three years he plays football, they win 11 games every year."
His teammates are among the most thankful.
Senior guard Brenton Williams said he also learned a lot from Ellington, especially with how to lead a team. Now that Ellington's gone, the void will be placed on Williams and transfer Tyrone Johnson to guide and direct.
"That's just definitely me and Ty's job, to encourage the young guys and not let them get psyched out," said Williams, who has averaged 18.25 points per game over South Carolina's current four-game winning streak. "Encourage them to keep their minds to stay the course and not get distracted."

Children who are overweight may have medical, behavioral, and genetic factors that contribute to weight gain. Nemours specialists in weight loss for kids provide evaluation and treatment for kids who are at an unhealthy weight. And we know weight loss for kids is more than a number on a scale; it's about managing a medical condition, finding ways to deal with emotional issues, and learning healthy approaches to food, eating, and exercise that will last a lifetime.
Our pediatric weight loss program is focused on helping your family adopt long-term, sustainable lifestyle changes that can lead to significant improvements in your child's health and well-being.
For example, encouraging smaller food portions, increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, replacing screen time with physical activity and drinking water instead of sugary drinks are all small steps that add up on the road to weight loss for kids.

Protesters shouted throughout Mitt Romney's campaign appearance in Ohio with House Speaker John Boehner.
Romney on Sunday gave an abbreviated campaign speech from the bed of a pickup truck in Boehner's home district. A small but noisy group of protestors shouted throughout his speech, which lasted about six minutes. The protesters shouted, "Romney go home!"
A group of Romney staffers moved a set of speakers into the middle of the group of protesters to try to drown them out in return. The group had gone through regular security, and no staffers or security attempted to remove them from the event area.

I am a Mother of 2 boys and 2 girls and a grandma of 4 granddaughters and 3 grandsons.
I am a transplant from Michigan who graduated from L'anse Creuse High School in Mount Clemens Michigan 1966. I was the sixth child of Leonard Joseph Fleury and Florence Jean (Simpson) Fleury. I now live in Goodlettsville Tennessee, north of Nashville ,with a ridgerunner for a hubby, who I met when he was in the Air Force at Selfridge Air Force Base in 1967, and now he is retired from Dupont.
Email me if there is anything that needs to be made right on my inputs.
'Blackeyedpeas' is the nicname that was given to me by my Father, Leonard Joseph Fleury, when I was a little girl, because my eyes are brown. My hubby has a nicname he had from where he retired from Dupont, it is called 'Cornbread'.
My dad also gave me another nicname , it is Kickkee, I have been doing Ancestry research on Surnames of Fleury, Bilbrey, Reno, also spelled Renaud, Simpson, Warner, Anstett, Worley, Howard, Nantais, Coker.
My sister Irene (Fleury) Young passed away July 7, 2006 if you leave a flower or a gift on her interment it would be very appreciated,you can find it as an off shoot of my Mom's interment, Florence Jean (Simpson) Fleury.
If there are any who put gifs and flowers on my family or friends interments which are mostly in my Sponserships, I thank you all so very much, and I will also try to do the same for your loved ones.
I also look for duplicates in the cemeteries I put flowers in and I will tell the members about them so they can be deleted .
So if anyone finds duplicates on my interments please let me know.
I use to take request pictures at a few Cemeterys near us, National Cemetery,Forest Lawn, and a few others . There are other members who take up pic requests in this area also .
I really do hope someone takes up the requests you made in Spring Hill and the others .
if I have any interments that I have made in my profile as to date and you see any that may be your family ,please let me know so that I can transfer them to you.
Keep up the good work you and yours do in findagrave .
I have completed my treatments for Radiation and Chemo in this month of Jan 2015. But I will not be helping with pics anymore.
For the familys of any interments in Forest Lawn Cemetery here in Goodlettesville TN where I sometimes I did take requests, the cemetery has a way to have real flowers placed on interments for special occasions 3 times a year for a fee , and if anyone is interested they may call the Forest Lawn office to set it up.
I was informed by the Ladies who run the office in The National Cemetery here in Madison Tennessee that the Kiosk outside the office has the same records in it as the office records have inside , so that means , if the name isnt on the Kiosk then the soldiers are not in this Cemetery. And also there are quite a few unknowns headstones that are interred in the National from the Civil War.
Spring Hill Cemetery is a strict cemetery,I have had problems with office people when I did ask for the locations as a request pic taker , They say only family of interred people there may ask for locations. So if you need a location call office at Spring Hill Cemetery 1-615-865-1101 then say you are family related. Ask for Section#, plot location#, plot#, and grave #. You may need to provide dates. Then add information to the photo request . And if they find the location in the office for you ,ask them to help show whoever comes in for it to go out and help look ,or make a copy of the location on a map , because sometimes it is hard for the pic taker to locate by just the direction itself , whereas the office people may be able to go directly to the grave with them . But make sure you specify someone will come into their offices and you need a family services person to show them where the interment is ,otherwise they may not help.
My photos are for public use and permission to use them are not needed. And your very welcome
Thankyou to all who give me a heads up on my interments if there are things wrong with them in different ways.
I have a flair up of my cancer now which I was cancer free from a couple of years ago .
So I will not be doing anymore pics for the cemeteries. Thankyou to all .I do not like the new crap on the findagrave thingy.
Please do not change the beginning of the findagrave thingy.

House Passes Legislation Banning Auditor Rotation Mandate
July 18, 2013
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Audit Integrity and Job Protection Act, H.R. 1564, by a vote of 321 – 62 on July 8, 2013. The bill would prohibit the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) from requiring mandatory audit firm rotation.
In a statement issued following the House action, Barry C. Melancon, CPA, CGMA, president and CEO of the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) said, "In the absence of evidence that mandatory audit firm rotation would enhance audit quality, the House has sent regulators in the United States and Europe a clear message that the time has come to end the debate over rotation. Today's House vote will go a long way toward alleviating confusion and uncertainty for policy makers and stakeholders on both sides of the Atlantic. I want to thank the measure's co-sponsors, Representatives Robert Hurt of Virginia and Gregory Meeks of New York, as well as its many congressional supporters."
On the eve of the vote, the AICPA sent a letter to all House members stating that, "It is clear from the record that such a requirement would be costly and likely have significant negative impacts on audit quality with uncertain benefits. Among the most notable comments is a letter from the GAO [U.S. Government Accountability Office] in which it comments, 'Even if the PCAOB could clearly establish that a lack of independence or objectivity is causing audit quality problems, it is unclear that such a problem would be prevented or mitigated by a mandatory audit firm rotation requirement.'"
The floor vote followed a June 19, 2013 vote by the House Financial Services Committee of 52 – 0 in favor of the legislation. In his opening statement at the committee hearing, Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) said, "It is boards of directors, management and shareholders who should ultimately make the decision about which accounting firms should audit a company's financial statements – not the PCAOB."
The AICPA's letter observed that the legislation reflects the overwhelming consensus on mandatory rotation in the United States. "We firmly believe mandatory rotation is not in the public interest, risks harm to audit quality, would impose significant costs on businesses and shareholders without commensurate benefit, would be economically disruptive and create other negative consequences. For these reasons, we support the passage of H.R. 1564," it stated.
In addition, 30 state CPA societies whose states are represented on the House Financial Services Committee weighed in with their representatives in support of the bill.

Pop star Demi Lovato has hit the studio with Nick Jonas to create music for a new collaborative side project.
The Camp Rock co-stars have been close friends ever since their days working for Disney, and while Lovato has gone on to be a successful solo artist, Jonas has separated from his siblings in The Jonas Brothers and ventured into acting.
In an interview with MTV, the Skyscraper hitmaker reveals they have now reunited to work on a new track, and hints it could result in them forming their own act.
She says, "I did write an amazing song with Nick Jonas and we want to do something with that, but we are not quite sure, so maybe we can do a side project together. We may or may not have picked out the band name already."
However, fans will have to wait a little bit longer for a Lovato/Jonas supergroup.
She adds, "I know he's working on his new album too, so it might not be for awhile, but the two of us... I'm always writing songs and he's always writing songs.
"Inevitably we end up on the same team, musically. It just always happens."
Jonas recently served as the creative director for Lovato's Neon Lights concert tour. The singer famously dated Nick's elder brother, Joe. They split in 2010.

Scientists at the Technical University of Munich have developed a mobile robot that interacts with pedestrians to find its way through a city. The robot – called ACE for Autonomous City Explorer – lacks an inbuilt map or a GPS system. Instead, like a lost human in a similar situation, it will stop passer-bys and ask them for directions. It then uses posture recognition software to understand the direction in which a person is pointing and continues on its path.
In a first test researchers dumped ACE outside the university and instructed it to find its way to the Marienplatz in the centre of Munich, some 1.5 kilometers away. 38 helpful pedestrians and 5 hours later ACE had reached its destination.
While this may seem slow, the researchers comment that the robot advanced rapidly until it reached Munich's pedestrian zone, where it's popularity proved an unexpected obstacle to rapid progress.

Parrot with melanoma
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am an avian practitioner in and am treating a 6 month old African Grey Parrot with a rapidly growing melanoma below the eye. Complete excision was impossible due to infiltration into the facial muscles. I am getting conflicting advice on whether to refer the bird for radiation, chemo, or to give up due to the poor prognosis. Any guidance you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Lili Duda, VMD, Section Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Menu, responds:
First, get a second opinion on the histopath (unless the first opinion was rendered by a bird expert). If confirmed a melanoma, since there is no bird literature, treat the same as if for a dog/cat . I would recommend radiation with large doses per fraction, adding in a platinum drug would probably be indicated. However, the prognosis would have to be guarded until proven otherwise. Since the bird is young and the tumor is rapidly growing that is concerning, but on the other hand these are also the ones that tend to respond well to aggressive treatment at least in the short term.

TORONTO (Reuters) - Patent licensing company Wi-Lan Inc said on Thursday it has renewed a broad long-term license deal with Samsung Electronics Co, allowing the South Korean technology company to use Wi-Lan's patents in its mobile devices.
Under the license agreement, Wi-Lan has granted Samsung a license to use its patents for wireless mobile products, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and networking equipment.
Shares in Ottawa-based Wi-Lan, which closed on Thursday down 3.1 percent at $4.12 on the Nasdaq, surged some 14 percent to $4.70 in light trading after the bell in the United States.
This new license renews the previous one covering wireless products but adds significantly greater patent scope and term of years, Wi-Lan said in a statement.
The financial terms and other details of the licensing deal were not disclosed.
The licensing deal is likely to protect Samsung from being sued by Wi-Lan, which over the course of the last year has filed a string of patent infringement lawsuits against Apple Inc, HTC Corp and BlackBerry, among others.

O2 gives birth to GiffGaff in gust of gabble
Commentard customers create great ignorance cache
GiffGaff, O2's venture into democratic MVNOs, has launched, and its forums are already groaning with customers asking inane questions that other customers struggle to answer.
GiffGaff is supposed to be run by its customers, who can earn credit or cash by answering other customers' questions, signing up more people, or recommending the service - all of which is intended to save the MVNO money for cheaper calls.
Pricing compares well to other SIM-only operations, though GiffGaff is chucking in free data for the first six months or so (no promises) while it polls customers about how much they would like to pay. The usual T&Cs prevent tethering, or use of any streamed services, but presumably that's up for negotiation too.
The do-it-yourself support isn't quite there yet. The problem is that those answering the questions are as ill-informed as those asking them, so ultimately a staff member has to provide a definitive answer: "What is evident is that the Community area is badly structured and a seemingly 'free for all' for comments", as one forum member puts it.
Those answering questions do get a cash reward, though GiffGaff isn't saying how much. The only figures the operator is providing are for signing up a new customer (£5), recommending someone to GiffGaff (£2) and sending a mail to someone saying they really should sign up (50p).
Incentives like that aren't uncommon - 3 will give you a fiver if you sign up a mate - but it will be interesting to see how much customers think they should pay for data and how much GiffGaff starts charging them once the six months is up. ®

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.
(AP) -- The University of Illinois Springfield is offering a
free online course about the Emancipation Proclamation.
President Abraham Lincoln signed the proclamation 150 years ago,
declaring that slaves in rebel states were free. The online course will explore
what happened in the United
States before emancipation, how emancipation
worked once it was proclaimed and what happened in politics, economics and
society in the years afterward.
The class will be taught by political science professor Matthew Holden
and legal studies assistant professor Gwen Jordan. The class begins Jan. 28.
There's no academic or continuing education credit for taking the
course. Students may register online.
This is the second massive open online course the university has
offered. Last summer, the first one drew about 2,700 participants from 70

Q. What's the minimum and maximum height for electrical equipment that contains circuit breakers or switches?
A. There is no minimum height for switches and circuit breakers. However, 550.32(F) requires the service disconnecting means enclosure for mobile and manufactured homes to be mounted a minimum of 2 feet above the finished grade.
All switches and circuit breakers must be installed so the center of the grip of the operating handle of the switch or circuit breaker, when in its highest position, isn't more than 6 feet 7 inches above the floor or working platform. But switches and circuit breakers can be mounted above that height if they're next to the equipment they supply and are accessible by portable means [240.24(A) and 404.8(A)].

For those who enjoy an old-fashioned Gospel crusade meeting, the staff of Joshua Revolution is presenting "The Field of Miracles: The Return," Friday, Aug. 9, through Sunday, Aug. 11, at Sal Maglie Stadium, 1200 Hyde Park Blvd., Niagara Falls.
This is a free outdoor event where families and people of all ages and ethnicities will be able to hear the full gospel of Jesus Christ through preaching and music.
Seven years ago, Joshua Revolution held its first crusade in Rochester. Titled "The Field of Miracles: Just Believe," the event attracted more than 17,000 people over three days, with many receiving Jesus Christ as savior, and experiencing healing, the gift of speaking in tongues, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Regarding that crusade, Pastor Michael Chorey, director of Joshua Revolution, said, "We called it 'The Field of Miracles,' and the Lord did not disappoint."
This August's crusade is focused on people returning to "the old rugged cross" and proclaiming faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ as the means of returning to God. The Old Testament book of Malachi says it this way: "Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, says the Lord of Hosts."
Gabriel Swaggart, grandson of evangelist Jimmy Swaggart from Baton Rouge, La., will be preaching at the Niagara Falls event. Leading worship will be members of the Family Worship Center's Resurrection Choir. Other speakers and musicians will be featured over the course of the three-day event.
All are welcome to experience the crusade. For more information, visit www.fieldofmiracles.org.

It has just been announced that Erik Buell Racing has received $20 million in funding from foreign investors. A part of the federal government's EB-5 program, the deal was brokered by FirstPathway Partners, a company that specializes in facilitating the funding of companies through wealthy individuals that are abroad. The announcement is a boon for EBR, as the company has struggled for financing since it began operations after the closing of Buell Motorcycles by Harley-Davidson.
The $20 million in funding will go towards building more affordable models, says the Milwaukee-based company. In turn, this news means that Erik Buell Racing will need to bring on more staff, and expand its facility for production at a greater volume (54,000 square feet says Buell). Erik Buell Racing hopes to start selling $20,000 street bikes once it gets its business in order for larger volume, with the expectation being that those models will be similar to the EBR 1190RS, though without such high-spec components.

We need concurrent (multiple processes) storage for a Ruby app. The obvious solution is sqlite, but I'm not a fan.
It's basically multiple producers (append) and one consumer (takes all information appended, processes it, deletes it).
Any other options we could consider?
What are your ACID requirements. Including in the face of crashes of either producer/consumers and hard power failure of the machine.
After that what are your scaling requirements.
I don't have strong ACID requirements, although on normal conditions I wouldn't like to lose data.
I can accept data loss if there are hard failures.
The process will have about ~100 (smallish writes, 100 bytes or less) writes per 30s or something like that, though it would be nice if we could do something like 1000 writes or more.
Just use pipes or sockets and have the consumer save to disk if necessary?
Oh, two requirements:
* This should be pretty multiplatform (Linux, Windows, basically, but also other unices)
* The consumer runs periodically, not continuously
(we are basically batching the writes)
Batching that little data seems very silly unless whatever the consumer does is absurdly expensive.
If you really can't have the consumer process running all the time (which is silly), then use a database or messaging server. At anyrate, the basic concept of having the consumer save off data before doing any processing (whether it does it now or later) is sound, even if you don't want to do it.
Moreover, I'd just do whatever's easiest, as you don't have any specific requirements here. You could possibly have something basic working already if you'd just made an arbitrary decision and gone with it. You haven't said anything that suggests anything about this decision matters at all.
It's not absurdly expensive; we send off the data to a central storage (using MQ), however we have many many nodes doing that.
We do have something in place- plain files, which works. I'm sure SQLite will work for this- I'm just wondering if there are any other options to explore.
If you already have an MQ server, then I don't understand how the conversation didn't begin and end there.
Potentially we can have 20.000 nodes sending information to the central server. In my original post I said 100 writes/30s, so that would be 4.000.000 writes/minute to the central server.
Sounds doable, but batching the writes on the nodes sounds like a good way to easily reduce overhead and it's not a big problem for us (we can deal with increased latency).
100 writes/30s is only 3.3 writes/s, at 100 bytes/write is 330 bytes/s. That's serial line speed. At 20k nodes you're looking at 6.3 MiB/s. Your biggest problem is the 20K concurrent connections to the central messaging server. That's probably easiest to solve with distributed / clustered MQ servers, which just about all implementations support to varying degrees.
If you want to reduce the number of connections from a single machine, then create a process to talk to the MQ server directly, and use a local IPC mechanism to talk to that process. That said, unless you're talking 100s of processes per server, you're probably not going to save enough connections to avoid a distributed MQ server[1].
Unless your concern is a record might be lost while waiting in sender process, there's no obvious reason to do anything else. Even then, then simplest way to save them for disk to send to another server later is to run a local MQ server doing store-and-forward.
Batching doesn't obviously help anything here, and it creates a lot of attendant complications.
[1] Ignoring the other reliablity aspects of sending everything to a single destination.
Ah, you are quite right. We were a bit obsessed about the quantity of data we are generating yearly, but really the throughput is not that high.
So we might simplify this a bit, thanks

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The MIT women's outdoor track and field team officially opened its season at the Westmont Collegiate Classic on Saturday. As a team, the Engineers finished in third place with 60.5 points, behind host Westmont with 73 and La Verne with 74.5. Senior Lauren Kuntz (Pittsburgh, Pa.) won the pole vault and broke the stadium record with her vault of 12-11.50. She and freshman Sarah Quinn (Watchung, N.Y.), who finished first in the 1500m, were the only MIT athletes to win an event.
Sophomore Veronica Szklarzewski (Chicago, Ill.) opened the day with her fourth place finish in the 100m with a time of 12.94. She was also part of the 4x100 relay that finished in third place with a 50.72, earning four points for MIT. Also part of the relay were junior Jaclyn Konopka (Novi, Mich.), sophomore Michelle Johnson (Glendora, Calif.) and junior Jacqueline Brew (Amherst, N.H.).
In the 1500m, Quinn finished 12 seconds ahead of the second place finisher. Her time of 4:32.82 was well under the NAIA A standard of 4:40.10. Classmate Allison Hallock (Boulder, Colo.) finished sixth with a 5:06.32.
Sophomore Preethi Vaidyanathan (South Windsor, Conn.) four-way tied for third place in the high jump when she cleared the bar in 4-11.00. Also competing in the pole vault were freshman Cimran Virdi (Walnut Creek, Calif.), who tied for third with an 11-05.75, sophomore Joanna Chen (Richland, Wash.) who was eighth with a 10-06.00 and freshman Sherry Wan (Ann Arbor, Mich.) who was ninth with a 10-00.00. In the long jump, Brew finished fifth with a 17-02.75.
In the discus throw, freshman Isabella Stuopis (Amherst, N.H.) finished in sixth place with a 106-03. In the hammer throw, she came fifth with a 107-01, with fellow freshman Stephanie Riocci (Pound Ridge, N.Y.) coming in directly behind her in sixth with a 105-06. In the javelin throw, sophomore Tilly Taylor (South Deerfield, Mass.) came third with a 120-07, Stuopis was seventh with 107-03 and Riocci was eighth with a 106-03.
MIT will host its first meet of the season, the Engineer's Cup, on Saturday, April 6 at noon, welcoming WPI and RPI to campus.

A Martini for Heartburn
A woman sitting at a bar says to the barman, "Barfender, I'd like a marhini for my heartburn." The barman mixes her drink and puts in down in front of her.
A few minutes later, she calls him over and says, "Barfender, I'd like a marhini for my heartburn." He rolls his eyes but mixes her drink anyway and sets it down in front of her.
A few minutes later, she waves him over again and says, "Barfender, I'd like a marhini for my heartburn."
The barman looks her up and down and says, "First off, it's bartender, not barfender. Second off, it's martini, not marhini. And third, you don't have heartburn, your boob is in the ashtray."
The Knob
A woman visited a plastic surgeon who told her about a new procedure called 'The Knob,' where a small knob is placed at the top of the woman's head and could be turned to tighten up her skin and produce the effect of a brand new face-lift. Of course, the woman wanted 'The Knob.'
Over the course of the years, the woman tightened the knob, and the effects were wonderful, the woman remained young looking and vibrant.
After fifteen years, the woman returned to the surgeon with two problems. 'All these years, everything has been working just fine. I've had to turn the knob many times and I've always loved the results. But now I've developed two annoying problems: First, I have these terrible bags under my eyes and the knob won't get rid of them.'
The doctor looked at her closely and said, 'Those aren't bags, those are your breasts.'
She said, 'Oh. Well, I guess that explains the goatee.'
Boobs & Willies
A family is at the dinner table. The son asks his father, 'Dad, how many kinds of boobs are there?
The father, surprised, answers, 'Well, son, there are three kinds of breasts. In her 20s, a woman's breasts are like melons, round and firm. In her 30s to 40s, they are like pears, still nice but hanging a bit. After 50, they are like onions'. 'Onions?' 'Yes, you see them and they make you cry.'
This infuriated his wife and daughter so the daughter said, 'Mum, how many kinds of 'willies' are there?'
The mother, surprised, smiles and answers, 'Well dear, a man goes through three phases. In his 20s, his willy is like an oak tree, mighty and hard. In his 30s and 40s, it is like a birch, flexible but reliable. After his 50s, it is like a Christmas tree'. 'A Christmas tree?' 'Yes - dead from the root up and the balls are just for decoration.'
Rosebuds and Hanging Baskets
A teenage granddaughter comes downstairs for her date with a very sheer blouse on and no bra. Her grandmother just pitched a fit, telling her not to dare go out like that! The teenager tells her "Loosen up Grams. These are modern times. You gotta let your rose buds show!" and out she goes.
The next day the teenager comes down stairs, and the grandmother is sitting there with no top on. The teenager wants to die. She explains to her grandmother that she has friends coming over and that it is just not appropriate... The grandmother says, "Loosen up, Sweetie. If you can show off your rosebuds, then I can display my hanging baskets."
Judging Others
An elephant asked a camel,"Why are your breasts on your back?"
"Well," says the camel, "I think that's a strange question from somebody whose wiener is on his face.
Scooby Dobbie Boobies!
A flat-chested young lady goes to Dr. Smith for advice about breast enlargements.He tells her, "Every day when you get out of the shower, rub the top of your breasts and say, '"Scooby dooby doobies, I want bigger boobies.'"She did this every day faithfully and after several months, it worked! She grew great boobs!One morning she was running late and she was on the bus when she realized she had forgotten her morning ritual.At this point she loved her new boobs and didn't want to lose them, so she got up right in the middle of the bus and said, "Scooby dooby doobies, I want bigger boobies!"A guy sitting nearby asked her, "Do you go to Dr. Smith by any chance?" "Why, yes, I do. How did you know?" "Hickory dickory dock"!
Pinch my Nipples!!
A woman tells the clerk she wants a refund for the toaster she bought because it won't work. The clerk explains that he can't give her a refund because she bought it on 'special'.
Suddenly, the lady throws her arms up in the air and starts screaming! "Pinch My Nipples! Pinch My Nipples! Pinch My Nipples!!"
The befuddled clerk runs away to get the store manager. The manager goes to the lady and asks, "Ma'am what's wrong?"
She explained the problem with the toaster, and he tells her that he can't give her a refund because she bought it on special.
Once again, the lady throws her arms up in the air and starts screaming, Pinch My Nipples! Pinch My Nipples! Pinch My Nipples!!
By now a huge crowd has gathered! In shock, the manager pleads, "Ma'am, why are you saying that?
In a huff, the woman says, "Because, I Like To Have My Nipples Pinched When I'm Getting Screwed!"
The crowd broke into applause and the lady's money was quickly refunded!
Breast Stroke Competition
A blonde, a red head and a brunette were competing in the English Channel Breast Stroke Competition.
The redhead won and the brunette came in second. However, there was no sign of the final contestant. Hours and hours went by causing grave concern and worry. Just as everyone was losing hope, the blonde finally arrived.
The crowd was extremely happy and relieved to see her. They embraced the young girl as she came ashore. After all of the excitement died down, she leaned over to the judge and whispered, "I hate to be a bad loser, but I think those other girls used their arms."
Q&A of Older Boobs
Q: What do older women have between their boobs that younger women don't?

Is President Obama getting away with some of the same offenses that led to Nixon's resignation? Daniel Ellsberg thinks so. The Raw Story reports:
Pentagon Papers leaker Daniel Ellsberg said Tuesday that disgraced former Republican President Richard M. Nixon would "admire [President Barack] Obama's boldness" in trying to stifle whistleblowers.
"Richard Nixon, if he were alive today, might take bittersweet satisfaction to know that he was not the last smart president to prolong unjustifiably a senseless, unwinnable war, at great cost in human life," Ellsberg told CNN. "And his aide Henry Kissinger was not the last American official to win an undeserved Nobel Peace Prize."
"He would probably also feel vindicated (and envious) that ALL the crimes he committed against me — which forced his resignation facing impeachment — are now legal," he continued.
"That includes burglarizing my former psychoanalyst's office (for material to blackmail me into silence), warrantless wiretapping, using the CIA against an American citizen in the US, and authorizing a White House hit squad to 'incapacitate me totally' (on the steps of the Capitol on May 3, 1971)… But under George W. Bush and Barack Obama, with the PATRIOT Act, the FISA Amendment Act, and (for the hit squad) President Obama's executive orders. [T]hey have all become legal."

On paper, where hockey is played by fantasy drafters and poolies, the San Jose Sharks' lineup of weapons is quite deep enough to get the full attention of a team that is still drawing names out of a hat to figure out who plays on defence — and with whom.
[np_storybar title="Canucks defenceman Keith Ballard denies he asked to be traded" link="http://sports.nationalpost.com/2013/03/05/canucks-defenceman-keith-ballard-denies-he-asked-to-be-traded/"%5D
On the ice, it hasn't always worked out that way. A squad that sprinted out of the gate to seven wins in a row just as astonishingly lost nine of its next 10, somehow squandering, in the meantime, all that offensive punch and scraping the bottom of the National Hockey League's goals-for barrel.
"It's somewhere in that locker-room," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "Obviously, if we had the ability to do it early and start the way we did, it's there.
It's like any other injury: at the end of the day, the player and the staff talk it over, and he might feel he's 100% and he's ready to go — or sometimes he's not 100% but he feels he can play through it
"But things change over time, teams get their systems in place, guys get their legs going again, and there is going to be some catch-up that's done."
So naturally, two guys who hadn't a goal between them this season, Scott Gomez and Adam Burish, put the first two past Cory Schneider in the Vancouver Canucks net Tuesday night, and as little resistance as the home side was putting up at that point, who knew how many more might end up behind Schneider if the Thorntons, Marleaus, Pavelski, and Coutures rolled up their sleeves and got to work.
The Canucks, meanwhile, were working through the full range of permutations and combinations on their blue-line, doing the same faintly frenetic tap dance that they seem destined to be doing until Kevin Bieksa returns.
It's not often in his career that the high-risk, high-reward Bieksa has been referred to as the missing piece that could really settle things down in the Canucks' back end.
But the 31-year-old rearguard's value to the team has never been more sharply defined than through this last stretch of five games, four of which he has missed with groin problems.
The one he played, the Canucks beat the Stanley Cup champion L.A. Kings, convincingly. The four he missed — in Detroit, at home to Phoenix, in Calgary, and this one against San Jose — they lost by an aggregate score of 19-9.
Tuesday night, in between outbreaks of high-speed pond hockey that included some really breathtaking sequences by the Canucks, a game that could have ended in a lopsided win for either team left both defences panting, and offered a strong case for the good old tie, in which nothing is settled but both teams — and the fans, too — leave happy.
Instead, as has so often been the case, the Canucks couldn't apply the coup de grace, either in regulation time or the extra five minutes, and ended up losing 3-2 in a shootout, Couture finishing it off.
The Canucks showed plenty of moxie and speed, lots of effort, and no doubt deserved better after battling back from 0-2 down to tie it on goals by Henrik Sedin and Jannik Hansen.
Defensively, too, it was a gritty effort by the home team, after starting without Bieksa, again, and then losing the beleaguered Keith Ballard to a charley horse in the third period, and still making it to the finish line.
Things almost got considerably scarier in the first period when Chris Tanev, the lone remaining right-hand-shooting defenceman in Bieksa's absence, took a Michal Handzus shot off the outside of the right knee while trying to clean up a bad turnover by his defence partner of the moment, Alex Edler.
But after a quick trip to the dressing room, he returned and, though he looked all-in at times as the game wore on, he and Edler and Dan Hamhuis and Jason Garrison — with an occasional shift from Cam Barker — withstood the Sharks' incursions well enough.
But who's kidding whom? The healthier Bieksa returns, the better for the team — as long as he comes back to stay. If he returns too soon, as it appears he did against L.A., and the groin keeps flaring up again and again, as groins are wont to do, then the Vancouver blue-line is going to be a daily grab-bag of mix-em, match-em hunches and more experimentation.
"First thing that comes to mind is [losing a] right-handed defenceman, it's a lot easier playing a right-hander and a left-hander together, for those D-to-D passes," head coach Alain Vigneault acknowledged. "The competitiveness he brings on a nightly basis, he's a strong, aggressive, tough player to play against, he moves the puck well and defends well, so he's been one of our most consistent defencemen."
He does, however, dispute the notion that Bieksa came back too soon, or that he could have done more harm to himself by playing Saturday.
"It's like any other injury: at the end of the day, the player and the staff talk it over, and he might feel he's 100% and he's ready to go — or sometimes he's not 100% but he feels he can play through it — and you never know how it's going to turn out," Vigneault said.
"In Kevin's case he was fine [against L.A.], he played real well, he was quick, he was strong one on one, and then towards the end of the game, one hit, one push, he felt it again, finished that game, didn't think anything of it. Next morning, got up, it felt stiff."
Despite four losses in their last five outings, and the tenuousness of their hold on the Northwest Division lead, it is too early to say the Canucks have lost their way, because (a) only the Detroit game was a real stinker, and (b) there's pretty much a game every second night, and in the mood-swingy, what-have-you-done-for-me-lately environment of a shortened season, redemption may be just around the next bend.
The next bend arrives in Columbus on Thursday, then weaves through Minnesota and back to Columbus, one of those road trips the scribes won't be fighting over … but the Canucks can't afford to be picky.
With or without Bieksa, and Ballard, whichever names come out of the hat will have to pair up, two by two, and weather this little squall.
And hope it doesn't blow up into something bigger.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - University of Tennessee at Chattanooga coach Russ Huesman was right not to get his hopes up.
Twice Saturday it looked like Southern Conference games were swinging the way the Mocs needed them to for locking up a spot in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. And twice the games went the other way.
UTC ended its regular season on a cool, gray Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium -- in front of an announced crowd of 100,179, though there were many empty seats -- with a 49-0 loss to two-time defending BCS national champion Alabama.
"I feel disappointed in losing the game," Huesman said, "but that team has done this to a bunch of people -- this year, last year, the previous year."
Alabama (11-0) now proceeds to the game of the year in the Southeastern Conference, this week's Iron Bowl, with the BCS rankings leader visiting No. 6 Auburn (10-1) for the SEC West title. UTC finished 8-4, 6-2 in the SoCon, for its best season since it won the conference outright in 1984 and made the playoffs.
After his game, when told that Elon was leading at Samford, which had to lose for the Mocs to get the SoCon's automatic bid to the playoffs, Huesman said he didn't care what any score was until the clock read all zeros.
"I ain't getting real excited right now," he said.
Wise move after Furman rallied from 14-0 down to beat Wofford 27-14 and Samford edged Elon 33-32 in a thriller decided in the final 10 seconds. UTC shares the league title with those two winners, but Furman, which won its last five league games, has the guaranteed playoff spot.
UTC nearly won the title outright last week at Samford but missed by an inch or two on a third-down throw into the end zone in overtime and then hit an upright on a tying field-goal attempt in a 17-14 loss.
"We had a chance to control our own destiny earlier and we didn't do that, so this is what comes with it," said Terrell Robinson, who filled in for Jacob Huesman at quarterback and was 10-for-15 passing for 82 yards.
The Mocs would have claimed the tiebreaker if Elon (2-10) had beaten Samford, which it nearly did. The Phoenix led most of the game and were clinging to a 33-27 lead with just seconds remaining when, on fourth-and-goal from the Elon 12-yard line, quarterback Andy Summerlin passed to Chris Cephus for a touchdown and the 33-32 win.
"We're a couple of seconds away from the automatic bid and one missed pass and six inches from the automatic bid," Huesman said in a phone interview Saturday night from the team bus, where most of the players and coaches had been following the Elon-Samford action on their phones. "There's a lot of things that happened, but obviously we didn't make a play or two when we had to during the course of the season.
"And we've got to live with whatever [the playoff committee says]."
The 11-member selection committee, comprised of a representative from each of the 11 FCS conferences, will assemble a 24-team field that will be announced at 11:30 this morning on ESPNU. There are 11 automatic bids and 13 at-large spots up for grabs. UTC must now hope its eight wins, which included six straight SoCon victories, is enough to warrant an at-large bid.
"I think we're good enough," Huesman said. "I think we should be in there."
The Mocs opened the season with a 31-21 home loss to UT-Martin, which finished 7-5. UTC's only conference losses were on the road at Georgia Southern and Samford, by a combined five points. And the Sept. 28 loss to the Eagles certainly looked better late Saturday afternoon after Georgia Southern held on for a 26-20 win at Florida.
Huesman often has criticized recently those who regard the SoCon as being way down this season. The conference finished 7-11 against other FCS leagues, which has hurt its rating. Most of those losses were early in the season and the league produced a very competitive finish, as well as its first win over an SEC team since The Citadel beat Arkansas in 1992.
"The team with a 4-4 record in our league beats Florida," Huesman said, "and I think that says a little something about our league."
But does it say enough? Did UTC do enough? The Mocs will find out today.
